Gpmdisk

[Mark]

GPMDisk will be a special edition of GPM, which may be familar to those of you who remember PintSized; it's a GP32 diskmag, meaning it can be read on the handheld whenever you wish. I've toyed with the idea before, but now seems like the time to put the plan into motion.

It will be avalible on a SMC card that's ready to read as soon as you turn your GP32 on or at a later date as a download. It won't be expensive-we're talking £2.50 at most here for the 16MB card and however it's presented.

What I would like to know is, would you prefer a brand new issue of GPM put onto a card, a complete collection of reviews from the 6 magazines, a Best of with (obvouisly) the best bits, or a completly re-written 'The First Issue' ?

Please let me know, so I can work further on it. Also, if you would be interested in reserving an SMC (no obligation to buy here, but it's first come first served) then please let me know and I'll put your name on the list (either post here, PM or email-however you wish).

BTW-It should be out within the next month, maybe even a couple of weeks. Delivery will be as cheap as it costs to post and may be included in the price if in mainland UK, and I won't charge Paypal fee's etc.

I'd like it ti be a new issue but with some reviews from older GPM's

How about a bumper new issue, with all previous reviews included?

i wouldnt mind a complete collection.

and 2.50 doesnt sound that bad for a couple of gp mags and a 16mb card.

i'd sertainly pay for it!!

I think Ill have one or 2.. I live in the UK, does that mean free postage??

How about all of the old issues (very slightly edited - and special editioned) and a new magazine in it (or at least a short magazine).

I would personally prefer a totaly new issue with maybe in extra the 'complete collection of reviews' with index for exemple which would let use get a test of one game extremly fast & would add something really conveniant
a sort of small "handled_game_tests_database" ;op
And maybe later, for those who have paid, you can release some new packages which include some extra "pages" to extend this database (more test)
but maybe it sounds not clear...

if your final plan look like that then you can count on me to buy it without any hesitations

I like the extendable idea very much indeed. I'll take a look into it.

That would make sense then, as Issues One to Six would be on the SMC when you buy it, then each time a new issue is released in PDF format I also release it viewable on GPMDisk.

There will be at least some new content on GPMDisk-I mean some reviews will certainly be scraped and re-written, and a few extra articles etc

note the lack of originality here

i think releasing issues that can be read on the GP32 and on PDF is a good idea for the future
